在中间  IN BETWEEN   在中間
We live in an increasingly virtual world without leaving the physical places our bodies inhabit.  We are alone but at the same time we keep constantly contact with the world. The city feeds this dual mobility - physical and virtual -  through a variety of situations, routines and rhythms in our everyday life. Spaces deeply encoded and propitious to individualism and indifference, transform us in spectators of places where no one is truly part of.

“在中间  In Between  在中間” guides us through the night of Hong Kong and their liminal places where everyone gets absorbed in their private online worlds and addicted to feedback, constant updates and information. Virtual or real, moving or still, temporally and spatially, in cantonese, english or chinese, we are constantly “in between”. In the end no one is physically somewhere. And we have gone from looking up and around to constantly looking down.

This film is about this state of loneliness, about ambiguity and disorientation, darkness and silence.“在中间  In Between  在中間” is a space between confusion, chaos and liberation.
